Take Your Pills (2018)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Great Film overall

Crappy film

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A very good idea on a subject that was time to do focus on, but the documentary (except the title) is poor and without a goal. Opinions and personal experiences are abstractly thrown here and there without a central spine of a story-line. At the end I didn't have a clear idea of what it was trying to say. It did not try to find the roots of the problem. It just wanted to mention the problem in a lazy way, like a puzzle that is not even solved yet. But that is not the only thing that did not work. While you watch it you start to realize how soft and politically correct it is. Not a single mention of any company, on profits, on the huge advertising industry from every aspect of the system (movies, video-clips, doctors, teachers, TV). Just stories without a political idea behind it. Without a cause. It had the smell of unfinished.

While the film raises many interesting points, it seems to jump around a lot from those who use it recreationally to excel in their work or studies, to those who have legitimate uses for it. Also, I found it didn't actually do anything to dispel the positive aspects of adderall or discourage those wanting to take it recreationally but it does deter those who want to use it for its actual purpose (ADHD). They just kept seeming to bang on about how great it is to really help you study further and in the wrong hands may encourage more students to try getting hold of the drug.Overall, interesting aspects within it - such as the history of these drugs - but lacked a coherent structure and bounced all over the place.

This movie does not provide scientific evidence for how medication can support and improve many symptoms for people clinically diagnosed and living with ADHD.The documentary addresses the issue of legalised addiction to speed, which is a completely separate debate, argument and concern. Very separate to the medical purpose these medications serve. Clearly the abuse of these drugs needs addressing yet not under the banner of anti-ADHD with the outcome further stigmatising people with this condition. If your life is touched by ADHD and or you or your child benefit from these life saving medical treatments - then my suggestion NOT to watch this film.

This movie does not remove the stigma surrounding ADHD medications, it intensifies the stigma.
